help please

My ds has never been a good sleeper but started going 5-6 hour stretches a couple of weeks ago but is now back to waking every 1-2 hours. Today he has SUPER clingy and WILL NOT let me put him down in his crib tonight. Awake, sound asleep it doesn't matter. He loses it as soon as he is an inch above his crib. He's also really sensitive tonight. For instance, he's lying next to me right now sound asleep but if I move at all (like move an arm that's not even touching him) he jumps and throws his arms up. Any ideas? Just a phase? I'm SO tired lol

How old is your LO? We went through that during the last wonder week. LO refused to sleep unless being held. I think he was about 26 weeks old at that point and it lasted 2-3 weeks? He is over it now. GL & HTH!

Mine did that during her wonder week as well. I ended up putting her back in the bassinet next to my bed for a couple of nights. I had to sleep right at the edge of the bed because if she couldn't see me she would freak out. It's some kind of separation thing. She got over it.

I think it could be separation anxiety. Owen did that for a while and got over it eventually. Now we are facing the night weaning battle. After 8 months of feeding every 3 hours (sometimes every hour overnight) I am exhausted.... So I understand.

Give it time and he will realize you aren't going anywhere. Hope you get some rest soon!

My son is 6 months 10 days. He started doing the same thing right before his 6 month birthday and stopped just after. I was exhausted for those 2 wks because he would nurse every hr/hr and a half thru the night and I couldn't get anything done during the day. Hang in there!!
